Pair Antique Czechoslovakia Royal Dux Parrot Cockatoo Signed Statue 16 3/4 inch

Description: This listing is for the pair of porcelain cockatoo statues that you see in the photos. I purchased them at an estate sale in Oregon where I was not told their history. Some research tells me that the "Made in Czechoslovakia" marks on the bottom of each of them indicates that they were made by Royal Dux between 1918 and 1938. I think that they are probably porcelain but they might be ceramic. I leave it to the buyer to decide who made them and when. Each statue measures supposed to 16 and 3/4 in tall. 1 of them ways to 2 lb 11.6 ounces while the other weighs close to 2 lb 15.8 ounces. Somewhat Square faces measure close to 4 and 3/4 by 5 inches. "9355" is impressed on the bottom of each statue. As the photos show, both of them are signed. I have not been able to decipher the signatures. The condition is much like you see it in the photos. The heavier one is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. The lighter one has two small chips opposite each other and connected at the top of the crest and one larger chip on the underside of the end of the tail. The two small chips feel smooth and look like they have a clear substance over them that might be glaze. Or, it might be something applied after they were chipped. Otherwise, the lighter one is fine. My photos should give you a good idea of the general condition of these two statues. I guarantee these statues to be as described and represented by the photos. The photos are part of the description; please look at all of them. I allow three business days for shipping, but I usually ship the same or next day if possible. Please note that the lighting in my photos is uneven, and there might be shadows or reflections. The colors on my monitor look close to but not exactly like the actual colors; different monitors may show different colors. I often say that an item measures or weighs "approximately" because no measurements are exact, and some things are difficult to measure.I like to leave feedback after I know that the item has arrived and that the buyer is satisfied. I reserve the right to cancel any bids without explanation. I sometimes purchase signature delivery for my more valuable packages because of the possibility of them being stolen off of a porch or damaged by weather. I often, but not always, ship the same or next day. Often, I have a double-walled box custom made for larger items, which might result in a short delay. When I use packing peanuts, they are usually made from biodegradable materials.Please email me with any questions or suggestions. I do not ship on weekends, and I might not be available to answer emails on weekends.Thanks for looking at my ad.
